Thanks, I thought Max RPM put on a great show for us today, and I can't wait for the rescheduled drive.
How can I post a pic of my car from the other website Bruce? On the link, the pictures don't seem as crisp as the ones you just posted on here? I would like to use that pic for an avatar.

Hey guys, thanks for the great event. I didn't manage to talk with many of you, but I was the younger kid with glasses. Regardless, I had a great time tagging along!
I too think it was a good idea to reschedule the drive. Not worth taking the chances. I'll just have to bum another ride from Kunal.
Kevin, sorry we missed each other this time. Was looking forward to going on a drive with you and not being IN your car for once! Haha
MaxRPM did a nice job. I enjoyed the tech sessions and thought that the even was well organized and productive/efficient. My only confusion was the point of putting in their o2 sensors post-cat on the dyno runs.
And Bruce, good job setting up the even today! Major thanks to you. Very sorry for missing breakfast. I was up late last night doing some little things to my car and woke up at 7:00, saying "wow, I need to be in Kent right now" (I live off H-16 right before the bridge).
Thanks again, everyone! 'Til next time.....

Wow, that guy takes impressive pictures.
Joe, select your picture then click it again to view full-size. That's a beautiful shot of your car. I wish there was another from the front while she was on the dyno.

Daniel knew Martin's M3 very well and had insisted to drive the dyno but Lee didn't let him. That car had no problem keeping up with stock 996TT. He also couldn't drive the Supra up the ramp into the dyno room cause the exhaust would scraped. He drove both cars all the way there just for the dyno purpose so he can sell his cars. I was also looking forward to see what the Poopra can do.
Sorry to those who had asked to see my Viper on the dyno but I'd prefer my car not to be a dyno queen.
So here 's a 9s run video by Hennessey of my car. Thanks for the awesome pics.http://media.putfile.com/Viper-9s-Run

When your car is ready for the drastrip let me know if I can help you. The season is starting and it'll be fun to see your car in action forget the dyno stuff.

PS. The snake is listed FS to plan ahead for CGT/997GT2/GT3RS?? next year.

I plan to get the car on to the strip this season and it will be a first for me. This is my first high hp car and I plan to enjoy it in many ways (track/drag/dyno)

Kunal,
Sorry about yesterday! We were all tired especially after that traffic jam. I totally passed out after I got home.
Hopefully I can make it up next time.Bruce,
Thanks for setting up this even! I really enjoy it. I am looking forward to the next event.
